The team’s battery chemistry with the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy density by as much as four times above lithium-ion batteries, which translates into longer driving range. The four-electron reaction is enabled by a mixed ion–electron-conducting discharge product and its interface with air.

The researchers, led by Professor Clare Grey, found that lithium ions move through the materials at rates that far exceed those of typical electrode materials, which equates to a much faster-charging battery. The maximum power output and minimum charging time of a lithium-ion battery depend on both ionic and electronic transport.

Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The researchers focused mainly on the favorable cost-performance comparisons between their sodium-ion battery and lithium. —Lee et al.

The primary goal is to increase the share of clean and sustainable energy in the overall energy mix, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating environmental impacts. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

A team at the University of Michigan (U-M) has used operando video microscopy to develop a comprehensive understanding of the voltage variations observed during Li metal cycling, which is directly correlated to dendrite growth. However, the Li-metal electrodes in these next-generation batteries are especially prone to forming dendrites.

These MXenes, which have exhibited very high capacitance, or ability to store electrical charge, have only recently been explored as an energy storage medium for advanced batteries. This migration is critical to understanding how energy is stored in the material and what drives its exceptional energy storage properties.

Measurements also indicate that these new materials could yield a cathode that is extremely energy-efficient. However, transition metal fluorides, which contain the element fluorine plus one or more of the transition metals, such as iron and copper, have much higher ion-storage capacities than traditional cathodes.
